> Several improvements:
> 1. If there is a humongous allocation failure, go immediately to Full GC rather than trying 64 degenerated GC first
> 2. Reduce likelihood of humongous allocation errors by:
>     a. Allocating regular objects from top end of memory while allocating humongous from bottom end of memory
>     b. (Especially) in the case that regular regions that are promoted in place reside within the bottom end of memory, detect that old-gen memory has become fragmented and trigger old-gen GC, which will make a special effort to move these out-of-place old-gen regions to higher addresses.
